21. In the sweet savour offerings the Hebrew came to present an offering which, as a sweet feast to God, was consumed upon his altar. In the sin offerings (Lev_8:14) he came as a sinner, and his offering, as charged with sin, was cast out and burnt, not on the altar, but on the ground without the camp. Lev_8:17. In the one the offerer came as an accepted worshipper; in the other as a condemned sinner. Both parties may meet in Christ.
